Bit (too many) Coins - got a toothache?

Galadriel55 · 10-29-2014, 07:02 PM

What did the movies do for you? - Ask not, what the movies did for you, but what you did for the movies!

(Or, as Nerwen accurately noted, it's more like what the movies did to you -- and therefore what you did to the movies? (Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew...))

----
Here's some more Movie forum bashing:

Skater Elf - newest version: Tauriel 3.0

Something Missing? - common sense, maybe?

PJ's "Galadriel the Wraith" - Ah, so that's the true identity of the Witch-king!

On a happy note: Arwen, Lothlorien, arrows, information, and little extras... - umm...

Are the movies a good or bad thing? - no comment

How are they going to piece 2 halves together? - use superglue.

Elrond the vampire - so Thuringwethil ain't a unique species anymore?

On witch sity did they do there best job? - Teh sity write thair. Can't yoo sea eat?

Peter Jackson post in the' Books' - blasphemy!

In response to Manwe's question... - oh, so now the King of the Valar seeks your opinion?

WARNING: Hugh Spoilers Ahead... - Hugh? Don't know him. But you really shouldn't spoil him so much.

Download the FOTR script - or what?

Sir Ian's "Grey Book" - "it was once red," says Sir Ian, "but I forget to clean it each time I drop it into a coal or chalk mine..."

The Arrogance of the Rings - those arrogant Rings! How dare they think so highly of themselves!

Should I bring a hankerchief? - please don't pull a Bilbo.

Which finger is the ring on? - no comment.

Who Do You Agree With? - nobody.

I need help with

Killing the Balrog..... - why are you looking at me? (for the record, at this moment these two threads appear right next to each other in this order on page 42 of the Movies forum. I thought the combination was too good to pass)

The spoilers are coming! The spoilers are coming! - Yeah yeah. Should we also brace ourselves?

Very Secret Diaries... - finally revealed!

Fat Sam in TTT - amazing weight loss in the duration of only one book!

The Weaknesses of Men...and Hobbits - women... and other hobbits.

FOTR - Chanting Wizards - too much pipe-weed.

Aragorn's Hair in RotK - the King of Gondor finally outdoes the Prince of Mirkwood

Galadriel55 · 10-30-2014, 04:49 PM

Who is more beautiful, Aragorn or Legolas? - the REAL battle of the Third Age!

If You Could Change The Script - I would dress Sauron in polka-dotted underwear.

I did not... - Oh yes you did!

Sauron speaks? - what, you didn't know many sentient beings can talk?

A Drinking Misconception - "Wait, you're actually a Dwarf?" says Legolas after his beer-party with Gimli in Rohan.

Anyone know where I can find pictures of Gildor? - under the pillows of his fangirls.

Rocks: The orcs' weakness. - hit them enough times and they die.

Does This Quote Mean Anything To You? - nope. Don't give two cents about it.

A New Elrond - made with 100% recycled material!

For anyone who's ever wanted a "Legolas Braid" - man, you're never gonna sell your product with this advertising!

PLZ HELP - ASSIGNMENT - TTT DVD Chapters

Help me!

HELP!!!!!!!!! - ok, calm down!

Where is the horse and the rider? - weren't they just there?

How many times should we cry (or want to) in RotK? - hmmm..., let's make it 3.14 times.

Did Gollum remind you of someone? - how about... Gollum?

What is with the silent Elf??? Silence???

Does Frodo Baggins have a wife or a girl friend? - no no, I was just wondering if the spot was vacant.

What disappointed you about The Two Towers? - erm, The Two Towers?

A Touching Thought... - how touching indeed.

Surely the Fellowship took the wrong route?

They didn't. And don't call me Shirley.

Vaguely interesting BBC Culture article leads you to believe that it's actually interesting.

Galadriel55 · 12-01-2014, 02:55 PM

How do you imagine other BDers - in my head, of course.

Isn't this thread for puns based on literal interpretations of thread titles?

Shall I use an even more emphatic qualifier next time?
